Press release


In her book For Space (London, 2005) the social scientist Doreen Massey asks us to open up to a spatial consciousness that would enable us to rethink our perception of reality and, accordingly, the action and reaction between all the particles that we give it shape with. Her proposal can be boiled down to three statements that refute the concept of space as a static surface in which time, and in consequence history, passes: “first, that we recognise space as the product of interrelations […] second, that we understand space as the sphere of the possibility of the existence of multiplicity in the sense of contemporaneous plurality; as the sphere in which distinct trajectories coexist […] third, that we recognize space as always under construction” and therefore open to the imagination.
These three principles underpin the exercise proposed in this exhibition, namely, to rethink a known space like that of an art gallery in order to unfold it and open it up to new possibilities of encounter. To this end, the works by the artists invited to join the project—Irma Álvarez-Laviada, Itziar Barrio, Manu Blázquez, Nicolás Combarro, José Luis Cremades, Asunción Molinos Gordo, Carlos Ramírez-Pantanella, Alberto Peral, Mireia c. Saladrigues, Elodie Seguin, Leonor Serrano Rivas and Anna Talens—articulate traces, mirrors and vanishing points, as indeed does this text. Each one of the works is at once a reflection of the research in which they address, from different angles, the material and political possibilities of spaces in which it seems like almost nothing happens.
